Aye

ok yeah im spy
wild guess
are we in a NORAD base, in the 80s?

Did... did we just do a win?

@Michi

That is in fact....







Incorrect!



That means that all of our spies have been removed from the game, and the players win!

Our location was actually A simple house, which changed depending on the color.

White - A simple family house in the 1950s.

Green - A Simple family house in the 1960s.

Red - A Simple family house (with more modern conveniences) in the Present 2020s

Blue - A sleek smart house in the Future (think Futurama future).

And here were the roles!

Michael Thomas Nelson - The Dad was played by @NevaehGemini.
Elizabeth Sue Nelson - The Mom was played by @cozmikrae
Buck Thomas Nelson - The young son was played by @ExLight
Peggy Sue Nelson - The Teenage Daughter was played by @Anubhav Ghosh

Each of these characters had the opportunity to change their behavior dependent on the era that we were in, such as Peggy Sue embracing that Hippie peace and love movement in the 60s since she was in the teen group that would have been affected by it.

Skip - The (mostly biological) dog was played by @Laurentus
Bella - The Cat was played by @Eastern New England

Both of these characters were mostly consistent through the different eras, though Skip's Blue-Future version was a Robo Dog.

A Bedroom Poster was played by @Red Mones.  1950s was a poster of Ted Williams, 1960s was a poster of Willie Mays, 2020s was a poster of Tom Brady, and Future was a poster of Tom Brady's clone known as Brady Thompson III

The Radio was played by @Gerrick.  He was allowed to pull big news stories from the corresponding time period, and his style fit the aesthetic of the current era (1950s and 1960s was a regular old fashioned radio, 2020s was an app on a smartphone with ads, Future was a feature built into the house)

A Houseplant was played by @Vroendal.  They were specifically a potted sunflower, and in Future they were purely an artificial one since Sunflowers are extinct.

Ricky Ricardo and Lucy Ricardo from the I Love Lucy Show, which was playing on the TV in the house were played by @BraveSirRobin and @Ruguo respectively.  They were the game's only linked roles.  They also remained completely constant regardless of the era we were in.

And those were the main roles!

"But wait!"  I hear you rudely interrupt.  "What was Wischland's role, and what dictated those random era changes?!"

Well, The Controller was the role who decided when to press the button at any point in PM.  When the button was pressed, it'd trigger a random color change.  So at any point when you saw my random outburst with a new color, it was because @Wischland had chosen to press that button.   If you had voted Wischland out at any time, we would have forever stayed in the era we were in from that point on until the game ended.  Wisch also had no idea of the scenario, so they would have given off some Spy vibes I'm sure.

And let's also give a hand to our spies @Denth Kasten, @TGN, and @Imaginative Kane.  I imagine that was a rough game for y'all to follow.

If any of you had guessed the following, you would have won:

*A 1950s/1960s/modern day/future house (dependent on the color we were currently in)
*A time traveling adventure (or anything suggesting that we were time traveling).

Great job to everyone!

Well Robin, I've enjoyed being married to you, but I think it's best if we split ways now.

I was so sure Denth was Town when he answered the "What are you wearing" question, because his answer "clothes, of course. Do you think I'd be naked in front of all of you," sounded like he realised we were in the 2020s and in lockdown.

So wait, was a guaranteed way for the spies to win here not simply to always vote nay and continue asking questions until they could guess the setting?

No.

The spies don't know each other, so that wouldn't have worked.  It'd also make them look increasingly suspicious if they continued to nay every vote just so they could learn more.

However, if they had driven some mislynch votes up to the 3 strikes, they would have won that way as well.

What I mean is, after the first spy was revealed and it was clear there were multiple, the remaining two could have just voted nay continuously, even if they didn't know each other.

Yes, that is something that definitely could have happened, had the spies considered that.

It's the one flaw with multi-spy games that nobody had really caught onto until you exposed it. 

Lol, bet that I would have done it as a spy. Good thing I kept my mouth shut about it in the game.

Wow, that was some good spy-hunting! Good game, everyone!

Lol, bet that I would have done it as a spy. Good thing I kept my mouth shut about it in the game.

I also had some confusion about this possible scenario , in fact I was quite surprised to see that the spies didn't pull it off🙄

Thanks Michi for organising Spyfall XIV . Loved it!!

I must say I was very impressed at everyone's ability to keep their answers just vague enough to manage not to give the spies anything, while being specific enough for me to identify. I was utterly puzzled by Wisch and Gerrick, and Coz too for most of the game, though. Just happened to be less puzzled than I was about TGN, Denth and Kane.
